Road Trippin'

Early (4:40!) Saturday morning, we started our trek up to visit Ga in Massachusetts. We I opted to drive rather than fly-trying to pack sufficiently for almost a week with two little ones is hard! I would much rather be over packed than under, so I took full advantage of our mini-van rental and loaded it down with everything we might need. Six bags, two packs of diapers, two computers, one pack n play, a huge bag of snacks and tons of new toys later we were ready to roll!! Emma woke up at 3:50 that morning and didn't want to go back to sleep, we were getting ready to leave around 4:15 and Emma was awake the whole time. Once in the car, we figured she would fall back asleep. It was almost 6 before she conked out and she was awake again by 7:45. I found a bunch of little toys at Target to bring out throughout the day to entertain her. By 11:30 she was getting restless and we stopped and got a car adapter that would allow my computer to turn on and she would be able to watch movies and we were all set! She had a new Strawberry Shortcake movie and all the Toy Story movies to keep her happy. We arrived about 5:30 and all in all, I must say, the drive really wasn't that bad and much easier than lugging two babies, two car seats, toys and everything we could possibly need through the airport! I know we would've probably spent over a $100 on bags we checked and I'm not good at being a "light packer"

 Emma making sure one of the bags was big enough

 She loves this chair!

 Ga and her great grandbabies

Luke loves his monkey
 She loves her naked Barbie-she did have a bikini, but once she figured out her clothes could come off, they haven't been on since!

NO MORE PICTURES MOMMY!!
